Tired of extreme sports? Need a new thrill? Extreme Kidnapping, the brainchild of Mr. Scrillian, a rap artist from Detroit, is looking to provide thrill-seekers with the ultimate in adrenaline rushes. For as little as $500 you can experience a "No-Frills Adrenaline Amp Kidnapping", or go whole hog with a custom videotaped "Standard Kidnapping" complete with restraints and mock torture.

Is this the next wave of extreme sport?posted by greengrl (25 comments total)

So, I want to be a kidnapper. Where do I send my resume?posted by Mekon at 10:55 AM on May 19, 2003

Hope any takers really know what they're in for.

I got faux kidnapped as a surprise introduction to my sixteenth birthday. As soon as I saw who did it, I knew what it was all about. I still wigged the fuck out after about five minutes.posted by ursus_comiter at 11:00 AM on May 19, 2003

I wonder if they'll develop an Extreme Deliverance Package that includes mock anal rape committed by mock hillbillies playing mock banjoes.posted by RylandDotNet at 11:07 AM on May 19, 2003

That's the great thing about technology. You can get mock anal rape that's virtually indistinguishable from the real thing!posted by sonofsamiam at 11:09 AM on May 19, 2003

And done by the Jackass crew on Brad Pitt no less, although that was with his consent and he knew it would happen but it was fun watching people phone the cops going "You're not gonna believe this, but Brad Pitt just got kidnapped right in front of me."posted by PenDevil at 11:32 AM on May 19, 2003

Wow. The first time I've read about something in Rolling Stone months before i've read it on MeFi. We really are going downhill, aren't we?posted by jono at 11:36 AM on May 19, 2003

From the Standard Kidnapping description:

This is a dope experience when you consider your kidnappers could be the elite all-girls kidnapping team!

Could be? For a grand, I should hope that would be guaranteed.posted by widdershins at 11:46 AM on May 19, 2003

Hey, what if I just slapped an "Extreme Kidnapping" magnetic sign on my car and started really kidnapping people? Wow, that'd be really "extreme"
Besides the been-there-done-that factor, this ratchets up my "man, what the fuck is wrong with people?" radar. Don't be to sound prudish, wait, yes I do, I think this is dumb.posted by chandy72 at 11:55 AM on May 19, 2003

This is stupid. The Web site is laughable. oooOOOooo big scary kidnapping leatherettes and their wigger pimp daddy.posted by archimago at 1:12 PM on May 19, 2003
